    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

If you want to have your bike fixed and running right you really need to listen to the advice that you have been given. Steve is pretty much spot on with these bikes and carbs. I'm am not good a explaining things but he is . All the info you need has been given to you . And your mechanic does not no what he is talking about with these carbs. You should learn to do these things yourself if you are going to ride a 31 year old motorcycle.

Had a hard time finding any red in that drawing, but those are the "idle mixture adjustment screws", indeed.

Those are the ones that need to be about 3 turns out as a starting point, but if your carbs have not been properly cleaned and had new o-rings installed, I would not even worry about that. It would be MUCH better to start with a clean slate and just rebuild the carbs.

I know you trust your "mechanic", but what he is saying is not building any confidence in my book, you just don't know the difference. There are several of us on the forum that rebuild carbs for other members (myself included), contact any of us to have them done for you, if you don't want to tackle the job yourself. (You can look in the GS Parts and Services forum to see the others.)
